Fredericksburg on the other leg: Sergeant Ben Hirst's narrative of important events, Gettysburg, July 3, 1863 by Robert L. Bee -- 6.) From Gettysburg to falling waters: Meade's pursuit of Lee by A.

The Third Day at Gettysburg and Beyond brings current research and interpretation to bear on a range of pivotal issues surrounding the final day of the battle, July 3, 1863. This revisionist approach begins by expanding our knowledge of the engagement itself: individual essays address Confederate general James Longstreet's role in Pickett's Charge and Union general George Meade's failure to pursue Lee after the fighting. Other essays widen the scope of investigation to look at contemporary reactions to the Confederate defeat across the South, the construction of narratives by the participants themselvesâ "from Confederate survivors of Pickett's assault to Union sergeant Ben Hirstâ "and the reverberations of Pickett's final momentous charge. Combining fresh evidence with the reinterpretation of standard sources, these essays refocus our view of the third day at Gettysburg to take in its diverse stories of combat and memory.
